							<p>Health care economics has changed dramatically throughout the course of history. Income, population aging, modern innovations in medicine, the 
							implementation of health insurance, and the value we place on health have contributed greatly to the growth in real health care spending. Statistics 
							show that many countries have experienced major expansions in the size of their health sectors these past several decades, as measured by the share
							of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) spent on health care. In the United States, the share of GDP allocated to health care has ballooned from 7.1% in 
							1970 to 17.7% in 2010 (see <a href="#totalExpenditures">Figure 1</a>). Several other countries also experienced a similar positive trend in health 
							care spending. In 2006, the share of GDP allocated to health care ranged from 1.9 percent to 17.7 percent for 175 countries globally 
							(see <a href="#gdp">Table 1</a>).</p>

							</br>	
							
							<p>Goods and services are only worth as much as consumers are willing to pay for them. Health care costs so much nowadays because people have
							placed a high value on their health and well-being. Payments by patients, government, and insurance companies have increased 200-fold over 
							the past 60 years; thus payments received by doctors, hospitals, and other care providers have increased by the same amount. After adjusting 
							for changes in inflation, health care wages, and use of services, spending has still increased dramatically over the past 30 years-more than 250%.</p>
							
							<p>As the focus shifts from the individual to the nation as a whole, the significant determinant of spending shifts from "medical
							need" to "available income". Nations spend more money on health care because they have more money to spend, not because they have
							greater medical needs. Overall, the U.S. is the world's largest health care market, accounting for 40% of all health care expenditures 
							even though it only has 5% of the world's population. In 2010, the U.S. spent an average of $8,233 per capita on health care. The 
							average spending on health care among the other 33 developed OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries
							was $3,268 per person (see <a href="#expenditurespercapita">Figure 2</a>). Spending on almost every area of health care is also
							higher in the United States compared to other countries (see <a href="#healthspending">Figure 3</a>).</p>
